(21778 FM 1774 in Todd Mission)If your love is one for this history books, then this might be the venue for you. With prices ranging from $1,500-7,500, the festivities are relatively easy on the wallet.

(501 Crawford St.)Your days of playing the field are now over, but that doesn't mean you can't party near one. The historic train station that was build in 1911 has since be converted to be part of the Astro's stomping grounds, offering a wedding that'll knock it out of the park.

(6310 Avenue T in Santa Fe)For the winos who found each other, here is an option worth toasting to. The outdoor chapel and reception pavilion is situation next to the three-acre vineyard on the 12-acre estate. According to the website: "Our Premier wedding package is priced at $5800 for up to 60
guests and is available Sunday – Friday, with Saturday weddings priced at
$8800 for up to 100 guests." Bottoms up.

Love the great outdoors (almost) as much as you love your future spouse? Then an outdoor wedding might be for you. The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center also offers indoor options, so no need to sweat the rainy season. This venue offers a few different spots to have your wedding, including the meadow deck and the lily pond.

(550 McKinney)If your romance is the stuff of novels, then you might want to book it to this wedding venue. Nestled near City Hall in downtown Houston, this historic building will no doubt give you a fairy tale ending to your single days.

(2502 Harborside Dr. in Galveston)It's like a destination wedding, only not. A few of the cruise ships that dock in Galveston, such as Carnival Cruises and Royal Caribbean, offer shipboard wedding ceremonies and receptions prior to setting sail. Then after you exchange vows and party down, guest leave while you and your new spouse cruise out of Galveston and begin the honeymoon.

Say "I do" thousands of feet in the air. You, your beloved, and the pastor will board the plane, saying your "I dos" in the airplane on the way up. (You only have a limited amount of time before the drop off point, so you'd want to make it short and sweet.) After vows are exchanged, you and your new spouse make a tandem dive back to earth.
